A method to set a hollow device into an undersea flow pipe uses a flexible pig driven by a flow flowing into said flow pipe to displace a hollow device to a point where a stop means halts a displacement of said hollow device, thereby setting said hollow device into position. A method to retrieve a hollow device into an undersea flow pipe uses a flexible pig driven by a flow flowing into said flow pipe to retrieve said hollow device from a location where said hollow device operates halted by a stopping means.

1. A stop assembly to halt displacement of a hollow device through a flow passage of a flow pipe, said stop assembly comprising:a flanged spool having an internal passage and provided with a first flange and a second flange, each of said first and second flanges extending in a direction generally perpendicular to an axis of said internal passage, said first flange being welded over an orifice drilled through an outer wall of said flow pipe and opening in a direction generally perpendicular to an axis of said flow passage, at a point where said hollow device will operate, with said internal passage of said spool being substantially in registration with said orifice; a bonnet of a gate valve connected to said second flange of said flanged spool, said bonnet including a stem and a gate, said gate being connected to a first end of said stem, said bonnet being also provided with a packing set to seal said stem; and an actuating means connected to a second end of said stem, for driving said stem; whereby said actuating means is able to be driven in a first sense to turn said stem, provoking a movement of said gate along said internal passage of said flanged spool in a direction from said second flange towards said first flange of said flanged spool, and in a second sense, contrary to said first sense, for provoking a return movement of said gate, whereby said gate selectively extends from flanged spool through said orifice and into said flow passage of said flow pipe to halt displacement of said hollow device through said flow passage wherein said gate has a transverse dimension in a direction transverse to the axis thereof substantially less than a diameter of the flow passage, whereby full insertion of the gate into the flow pipe does not substantially cease flow through the flow passage. 2. A stop assembly according to claim 1, wherein: said flow pipe is an undersea flow pipe.3. A stop assembly to halt displacement of a hollow device through a flow passage of a flow pipe, said stop assembly comprising:a flanged spool having an internal passage and provided with a first flange and a second flange, each of said first and second flanges extending in a direction generally perpendicular to an axis of said internal passage said first flange being welded over an orifice drilled through an outer wall of said flow pipe in a direction generally perpendicular to an axis of said flow passage, at a point where said hollow device will operate, with said internal passage of said spool being substantially in registration with said orifice; a first gate valve provided with a first flange, said first flange of said first gate valve being connected to the second flange of said flanged spool; a second gate valve provided with a bonnet, said bonnet being connected to a second flange of said first gate valve, said bonnet being provided with a stem and being also provided with a gate, said gate being connected to a first end of said stem, said bonnet being provided with a packing set to seal said stem; and an actuating means connected to a second end of said stem, for driving said stem; whereby said actuating means is able to be driven in a first sense, to displace said stem and to provoke a movement of said gate of said second gate valve in a direction from said second flange of said flanged spool towards said first flange thereof, and is able to be driven in a second sense, contrary to said first sense, provoking a return movement of said gate wherein said gate has a transverse dimension in a direction transverse to the axis thereof substantially less than a diameter of the flow passage, whereby full insertion of the gate into the flow pipe does not substantially cease flow through the flow passage. 4. A stop assembly according to claim 3, wherein:said flow pipe is an undersea flow pipe.
